Hey, Got a Vortex II (at least, I think it was a Vortex II) from here about 8 months ago. Windows 7, Intel i7 2720QM @ 2.20 GHz (Sandy Bridge), 8GB RAM, GTX 560M. Good stuff. So, up until recently, it's been doing perfectly. It's only ever cut out once or twice due to overheating, that was my...

So, I ordered a laptop way, way back in April. A Vortex II, as it happens. When I received it, I opened it once and booted it up to check everything's there. Then, I put it all back, in original packaging and all. Long story, but basically I didn't need the laptop (and still don't) until end of...

I've got a VortexII 15.6 inch sitting at home, and I'll need a bag for heavy use. I've just had a horrific experience ordering this; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trust15-6-Notebook-Carry-Classic-BG-3350Cp/dp/B0013SP0YO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1336218527&sr=8-2 feels cheap, unsafe, and the shoulder...

Hey, No pictures for this review. The reason for that is the while I ordered my VortexII laptop a while ago, I've only opened it once or twice to install all the right stuff and see it works - I don't actually need it for a little while longer, and only got it as it would run out of stock, so...

Just got my VortexII. Very happy. Probably more on that later. Anyway, included are three discs, and I now have three questions; 1) I got a disc with lots of drivers on it. There are two options - necessary drivers and optional drivers. I'm pretty sure all necessary drivers are all installed...

Hey - it seems the VortexII is down in price, as well as having a 580M option. Which is odd, as I asked PCS a day or two ago and they didn't seem to have any plans for a price drop. The spec below, which previously cost £1,000 on the dot, is now down to a cool £887 Chassis & Display Vortex...

Geforce GT 555M with an i7-2760QM (2.40GHz) 6MB OR Geforce GTX 560M with an i5-2520M (2.50GHz) 3MB? Which do you think is better for gaming? The worse graphics card with the better processor, or better graphics card with worse processor? Thanks!

Hey - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/laptop-computers/ So, on there, the usual 'VortexII' choice have been replaced by the totally white box without a price. If you click it, you go here - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/vortexII-15/ The lack of pictures or description is freaking me...

University. Around £1000 to blow. Big gamer. Here's what I was thinking: Optimus II: 15.6" with... Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-2760QM (2.40GHz) 6MB 4GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 2GB) nVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M - 2GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 11 750GB WD SCORPIO...
